Abstract
Objective: Based on the theories of “defensive Qi entering Yin” and “Qi and blood in meridians” in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), this study explores the synergistic intervention effect of the Brain Health Sleep-Aid Pillow on brain diseases (such as insomnia, vertigo) and cervical spondylosis. The pillow achieves “marrow sea replenishment and unobstructed cerebral collaterals” by regulating cerebral blood perfusion and cervical mechanical balance through linear pulsed magnetic guidance of the Du Meridian and Bladder Meridian. Methods: A total of 120 patients with “neck impediment” and “insomnia” who met the Criteria for Diagnosis and Therapeutic Effect of TCM Syndromes were enrolled. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (60 cases, using Yuxuangong magnetic therapy pillow) and a control group (60 cases, using ordinary buckwheat pillow) by block randomization. The intervention lasted for 8 weeks. The efficacy was comprehensively evaluated using indicators including TCM syndrome scores, tongue and pulse analysis, cervical range of motion assessment, sleep quality (PSQI scale), and transcranial Doppler (TCD) [1]. Results: The total TCM syndrome score in the experimental group decreased significantly more than that in the control group (-4.5 ± 1.2 vs. -2.3 ± 0.8, P < 0.001); The cervical flexion range of motion increased by 15.3°±3.2° (P < 0.01), and the total PSQI score decreased by 6.5 points (P < 0.001); In the experimental group, the vertebral artery blood flow velocity increased by 12.3% (P < 0.05), and the serum IL-6 level decreased by 0.08 pg/mL (P < 0.05) [2]. Conclusion: The Yuxuangong Brain Health Sleep-Aid Pillow provides a modern scientific interpretation of the TCM theory of “defensive Qi entering Yin” through a three-dimensional mechanism of “magnetic field regulating qi and dredging collaterals, and physical mechanical reset”, which has significant clinical transformation value [3].
